The Approval Process Challenge

Multi-Stakeholder Complexity

Modern packaging requires approval from diverse stakeholders – creative teams, regulatory specialists, brand managers, legal teams, and external partners. Coordinating these approvals manually creates delays and confusion.

Version Control Chaos

Managing multiple versions, revisions, and feedback cycles across different stakeholders leads to confusion, missed changes, and approval delays that impact launch timelines.

Bottleneck Identification

Traditional approval processes make it difficult to identify where delays occur, preventing teams from addressing bottlenecks proactively and optimising workflows.

Accountability Gaps

Manual approval tracking creates gaps in accountability, making it difficult to ensure all required approvals are obtained and documented properly.
